My dad he drives a tipperFor the factory down the laneAnd every june or julyHe takes two weeks in spainHe hangs his dirty trousersBehind the bathroom doorWhere his girlfriend puts her hair upBath water on the floorMy dad goes down the riverEach sunday with his boatAnd him with roy and kevinDrop beer crates on a ropeHe comes back from the riverBut his girlfriend's up the pubSo all this fish go flyingAnd he storms out in a huff

My dad liked lulu and my mum liked simon deeWe used to sit together and watch them on tvThen one day it's over and we're splitting into three

Sometimes I stay with my mumHer boyfriend's such a sapHe once bought me a new rodThat I gave to my dadHe makes out that he likes meI know it isn't trueHe's got some stupid storiesAbout the teds he knew

My dad and me went drinkingMy mum turned up aloneShe said she couldn't take itHis car bits in the homeI heard them arrange a meetingFor later in the dayI wonder if they'll make upAnd be in love again

I can see my mum in his armsA smile upon her faceI never thought they'd ever make upAnd be in love again
